• Abstract:
  The objective of this research was to investigate and document practices currently being used by the ; Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) districts and other State DOTs to mitigate pavement edge ; drop off. The NDOR has developed (or borrowed) and is currently incorporating into its standard ; practices several procedures that significantly decrease the incidence and magnitude of pavement ; edge-drop off. As these practices become more fully integrated into highway reconstruction projects, ; pavement edge drop off is expected to decrease dramatically. Localized areas of pavement edge drop ; off along paved lanes with bare or vegetated shoulders were noted as posing particular problems for ; NDOR maintenance personnel. Several commercial systems for artificially reinforcing soil beneath ; vegetated or aggregate shoulders were investigated. Suggestions for follow-on research and field ; studies involving various mitigation procedures are included in the recommendations.
